Watercolor WIP of a Post-Apocalyptic Illustration

HI!

I decided to bring you this "work in progress" of a Watercolor I made last year, I have other two WIP's that i'll be posting for the next week, in each one (including this) I'll explain step by step, helping  with some pics, the process I went through =)

Hope u like it!


For this illustration I was thinking on a Post-Apocalyptic scene, so, I took as a refference the game I AM ALIVE, a short game set on this ambience I wanted to create. Saw some concept art and also played the Demo for PS3.

So, after I got all the refferences needed I did this sketch:

Some collapsed buildings and this character risking his life 
in the middle of the composition...


So, I started painting, first layer to know colors and position of 
every object and get rid off all those white spaces...


 At the same time I started to try to control the perspective 
and the change of planes...


 In here I already had all the objects with its respective color 
so I coul start focusing just on the change of planes and the little details, 
like reflections and some pipes and cables that are hanging...



  To bring some of the building to the foregound I added some shadows and darker colors
 was pretty difficult cuz it's a backlighting scene and almost everything should be dark...



 Then sended to the background the brown 
building at the right by taking out some pigment and Finally I added a very 
watery ocher to the whole composition...

And this is the final Result =)


Everything made on a 23x16,5cm Fine grained watercolor paper of 370gr

If you have any question about the process, don't hesitate to asking =D

Hope u Liked it!
